A few months ago I R3v"d my rear quarter panel.
After getting a ridiculous quote of $1,700 to fix it, I decided I would do it myself. Once I had it hammered out I decided I might as well paint it instead of having an ugly primed quarter panel.
I don't have any pics of the body work or of the car getting prepped for paint; but you're not missing much.
Once it was sanded down and primed I rigged a paint booth in my back yard. I used an awning and some PVC pipe to make the frame. Then I wrapped it in drop cloth and and some tarp.
I was doing all this on a budget of ~$250 so I decided to use spray paint. I ended up getting Montana 94 since I wanted a matte finish and it was fairly cheap at $5.95 a can. The color I chose is called Eureka blue.
What do you think?
